Meals for the Poor for q Cent.
New York Tribune.l


An attempt will be made this
week in Brooklyn to furnish hot
and substantial meals to tho poor
at q uniform price Of one cent
during the winter. The scheme
has been carefully figured out by
Mrs. Benjamin. Lewis, wifo of Fire
Marshal Lewis, and three other
ladies associated with her in the
work, and it is confidently expect
ed to pay oil running expenses
with the exception of the first out
lay for utensils and rent from the
profits of the food sold oven at
that low price. Tho charity
which Is called the st. Luke's Oof.
fee Station Society, will have its
headquarters at No. SS Washing.
ton Street, where huge ranges
and boilers will prepare the food
which will be taken cooked and
hot by wagon to the four retail
depots situated at Hamilton, South
and Catherine ferries, and at the
Brooklyn bridge entrance. At
these depots every day from @ to
s q. IN. to 4 p. H., one penny Will
buy half pint of coffee with
sugar and milk and a thick slice
of bread. From II q. IN. to 4 p.
M, a strong soup of meat and
vegetables with bread at the same
price will vary the bill of fare, fol-
lowed by half pint of oat meal
porridge and pure milk from q to

hearty response whenever sug
gested that everything will be in
readiness to begin business to.

Labor is more easily controlled
than formerly, the general dispO-

of debt; and the prospect is good,
as they raise the principal necessi.
ties of life at home, and the better
class of people exercise more
economy than formerly, and they
are making every effort to pay
their honest debts, and lastly, we
believe that Prohibition senti.

making the ability Of the effort a

Of once famous stock growing
valley. -Four years ago tall bunch
grass stood in the upper North
Platte valley. The low, rocky hills
were covered. The spaces between
the sage bushes were occupied by
bunches of grass. The treeless
nanks of the mountain ranges
were yellow with dried grass,
which waved in the wind. There
was grass, and good grass, every
where throughout the valley.
Heavy crops of hay were cut on
the natural meadows. Cattle,
horses, antelope and elk rOamed
through the valley from Hunters
ranch at the bridge over the North
Platte to fifty miles below Fort
Steele. On every creek which
issued from the mountains pros
porous cattle growers lived in log
houses. Tho cattle were fat, and
though the growers always lied
about the per cent. of calves they
branded, it did not seem as though
disaster were close at hand.
But how is it to-day z The valley
of the North Platte, this famous
grazing ground, is virtually grass

grass is tramped out by the hoofs
of thousands Of hungry and lean

over the arid land In search Of
food. They roamed for days be-
fore they staggered close to the
snow in the foot hills, and then
they closely followed the retreat
ing snow banks into the down
timber, into the green timber, and
finally on to the summit of the
Sierra Madre mountains.
